afternoon everyone

bright and [STRIKE]breezy[/STRIKE] very windy here....at the moment.

valli I cant see what the problem was - I had never noticed the link- I had seen the reference in your siggy but hadnt noticed it was a link IYSWIM - Its not as if you were trying to sell something - was it not just a link to him singing on youtube or something - seems strange to me - you must have crossed someone somewhere and got dobbed in.
macpep gosh it was lucky you were leaving work and not picking up LO - what a blooming nuisance.
pooh glad DS is coming home and you can help him get sorted - silly pooh for not taking your meds (((hugs)))
seafarer_wife Fling .....oops sorry didnt mean to hit you quite so hard - now get off that chair and go and do 15 mins in the bathroom NOW .....and then report back:rotfl:
maybemischief maybe you have done too much - your lists are nearly finished - have some time out and relax with a cuppa - then do 1 job that is annoying you and pat yourself on the back for an excellent week:T
Chloris - well done thats a huge job - now you should be able to keep on top of it a lot easier:T

had my assisted shopping today with a different woman and it was not as good - she is not very good with a wheelchair:eek: anyway i got some Christmas presies and had a visit to our new primark store which opened a week ago - she doesnt like it and wasnt very keen at taking me in and out all the stands but i got pjs and slippers that i needed. Also got some food shopping but not as everything I needed there either.
after lunch I got the washing out and it should be well dry by teatime.
better go find a list and see what I can do.

Hello. As the flylady regulars have probably guessed I am struggling to fit everything in with my new job, moonwalk training, school committments and family taxi service demands.

Apologies for not reading the thread.

All this is not helped because DH gave DSD the family laptop while she was in Addenbrooks. Unsurprisingly she isn't in a hurry to give it back! DH doesn't see what the problem is because his laptop is HIS. We others are using an old HP laptop with no MS Office and a very slowly scrolling screen. Tempers are frayed to pput it mildly.


Bathrooms done, kitchen done, all hard floors washed. Slatted Blinds damp dusted. WM on nearly 24 h a day. 7 x HHi completed so far this week.

What a disaster my first week was!!

Not managed anything off the list, just about kept on top of cooking dinner and doing the washing up, and managed a couple of loads in the wm!

Fingers crossed for next week and hopefully I will be able to catch up

Have a lovely weekend everyone x

BABY STEPS doing washing up and feeding everyone is a start and the weeks not over yet still time to cross something off :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Chloris

Think I'm on top of it:j. Need to do my ironing at some point. I haven't managed to do the cupboard-under-the-stairs, which I would like to but... Also missed out the floordrobe, I'm guessing this is the bottom of the wardrobe? I haven't seen the bottom of that in a loooong time and now its full of December goodies, eek. Maybe I'll accidently do it this weekend. Shed and gardens need doing too. Hey ho.

Frankly I'm amazed I cleaned behind the desk.

Do we get weekends off? (Dailies of course!)

guess again!!!

It is all the piles of clothes you take up to put away and leave in heaps on the floor/top of chest of drawers/chairs etc

And the idea is you do the 5 days lists and by weekend the house is spick and span and you can enjoy that time with your family.

Back from tesco... shopping away just feeding Freja and off to collect grubs.

Triker

In an uncharacteristic fed up mood today. So to drag myself kicking and screaming out of it I'm doing a HHC, anyone joining in?

Triker

Piggers any news on your sis?


I'm off HHC'ing....back in a mo.
